re: What fans of other SEC teams wouldn't mind seeing Gruden end up at Tennessee?

Just want to see another celebrity type at UT. Lane brought so much fun and entertainment into the conference.

Unlike Kiffin, who never earned what he's gotten thus far, Gruden is a proven commodity as a coach. Can he be successful in the college ranks? Absolutely.
Pluses:
1. He's still young enough to have energy to pull the long hours away from home when recruiting.
2. He won a Lombardi trophy; he needs a BCS (or whatever the hell they'll call after next year) to put him the ranks of Jimmy Johnson and Barry Switzer (the only 2 coaches to have ever done this).
3. His personally alone will bring recruits in that the team would never have had a shot at.
4. By all accounts, his Xs and Os are solid.

I'd like to see him in the SEC...why not!
